Do you want to learn how to become a snowboard instructor but not sure where to start? If you have never taken a snowboard lesson but are considering taking your Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructor’s (CASI) Level 1 certification, sign up for the level one pre-course and develop your fundamental skills to become a certified snowboard instructor.

These lessons are a great way to get feedback on the necessary snowboarding and teaching standards for CASI Level 1 and what you need to improve upon before sitting the Level 1 course. You must be comfortable making heel and toe turns on green to easy blue terrain. Having a basic level of carved turns and some exposure to riding switch will be advantageous however we can introduce you to these skills and provide you with feedback to continue your development.
